Episode 8: Ocho (Cinco)

11/09/16 • 74 min

Lucha Talk returns with an episode for the ages. (Make sure to listen to the end for a blooper that saw Chad Johnson get inexplicably referenced in the original start of the show...it's been a hard week, people.) And on that note we cover a match with a finish so dumb it embarrassed us to give publicity to, as between that, a great brawl between Black Terry & Hijo de Diablo which featured a mid-match purse theft, and powerbomb.tv's signings with Black Terry Jr. & Carxyus, the indie scene was busy this week and it's all here. Lucha Underground & AAA both had their weekly shows, and more love for Dario Cueto & Averno ensued, as well as talk of the debuting Máscara de Broncé as well as optimism for the coming weeks of Lucha Underground. CMLL closes things out this week with talk of Máscara Dorada as he nears the end of his run in México, as well as one of the best Lucha matches of the year with an amazing moment as the torch was passed between generations before our eyes with Hechicero winning his first title in CMLL. Check out our own Raul Rodriguez's great interview with CMLL & Independent Luchador Tritón: http:/ www.luchaworld.com/?p=70586 Also see friend of the show Dave Dynasty's snazzy interview with CMLL Luchador Johnny Idol: http:/ www.davedynasty.com/podcast.htm Follow Dylan @DylanZeroPS , Alfredo Esparza @therealfredo , Raul @LIFERFEVER , and rate, review, & subscribe to Lucha Talk!

Episode 7: Corazón Valiente

This week's episode revolves around much of the shows that took place this week, kicking off with the man of the hour and the upset of the year in CMLL as Valiente was crowned the Universal Champion. The Dia de Muertos shows and concept is analyzed, and the Trios tries to make sense of why Ultimo Guerrero gets after his meaningless main event win on Sunday. FantasticaMania lineups were announce and they're covered all the way. Moving on to Elite we saw one of their best overall episodes including an espectacular Trios match, and the shocking throwing down of his Volador Jr. Fanclub headband by one host, who aligns himself with Rey Escorpión, who gets much praise. AAA also has a surprisingly solid show this week that gets broken down in depth including Psycho Clown's "return" and smart angles to build up their Team Trump angle. Lucha Underground is ran down as always and no punches are pulled at the effort this week from Boyle Heights. All that and a roundtable discussion on the streaming services for wrestling and the effect and the role we think Lucha promotions will play coming off the news of RIOT getting picked up by powerbomb.tv as well as rumors of FloSlam looking into México for content, with big news seemingly on the horizon down the line that we look ahead and speculate on. #PorraReyEscorpión

Episode 9: Adios For Now, Máscara Dorada

The Trios champions of podcasting return through thick and thin to deliver another trés caidas of Lucha Talk. As always the crew goes through the weekly shows highlighted by a great Lucha Underground main event in Grave Consequences. Everyone gets other topics including but not limited to: - Máscara Dorada's emotional farewell to CMLL and where it ranks as one of the best moments of the year. - Elite's back! But maybe not for much longer... - What's the deal with Lucha Memes, powerbomb.tv & CMLL? - Who's gonna win Aztec Warfare? (Spoiler, a particularly bold host makes the case for Dario Cueto to exit the temple with Lucha Underground Aztec gold. You heard it here first. Also there's research into who Pindar is and the real life result may surprise you.) - The show closes with the most fired up segment in Lucha Talk history revolving around Sexy Star of all people and her issues with AAA and her name, AAA's handling of Sexy Star and Rey Fénix since their departures. Well wishes from all of the Lucha Talk family to Máscara Dorada in his future in WWE!
